As the Raptors swarmed Leonard to celebrate, the Sixers walked off the court. Cameras caught Embiid solemnly walking off the court, when Raptors center Marc Gasol stopped Embiid to talk to him. There, Embiid broke down, crying so heavily that he put his head on Gasol's shoulder.

Embiid' reaction was caught by cameras and played during 76ers coach Brett Brown's postgame press conference:

Brown told reporters of Embiid's reaction: "He'll look in the rearview mirror and remember this. He'll come out better and stronger and smarter and more aware of really what it takes to play longer than this."

Cameras also caught Embiid being consoled by his girlfriend in the tunnel to the locker room after the game.

It was a frustrating series for Embiid, who battled a knee injury and a sickness that visibly affected him. He had moments of his typical dominance, but after the best regular season of his career, he was not able to play at his standard for long stretches in the postseason.
